The TRS-80 has TROFF and TRON!

More useful but not quite as magical as DECSYSTEM 10 and DECSYSTEM 20 BASIC's "LISTREVERSE" command!

Chalk one up for DEC and BASIC. What other programming languages support that feature, huh?
Now all you need is a COMEFROM and COMESUB and RUNREVERSE (or NUR) statements, and you can write reversible BASIC programs!

DECSYSTEM 20 BASIC User's Guide: LISTREVERSE command
LISTREVERSE
LISTNHREVERSE
LISTREVERSE and LISTNHREVERSE print the contents of the
user's memory area in order of descending line numbers.
LISTREVERSE precedes the output with a heading,
LISTNHREVERSE eliminates the heading.
LISTREVERSE
EQUIV 10:53 13-NOV-75
40 END
35 PRINT "THE EQUIVALENT CURRENT IS",I, " AMPERES"
25 I=E1/R
10 INPUT R
5 INPUT E1
READY

Emacs should have an edit-reverse-mode!
- Gibbon1 2y agoI liked Rocky Mountain BASIC with it's nice string operations and first class matrix operations. I think it had a sort function too. But can't remember.
